But McAfee is using this approach to make
the PC more transparent and secure.McAfee is
not using software but hardware, which has
significant benefits.

Automated threat identification is nice, but
so is looking myself at whats going on under
the hood. Makes it easier to spot evil intent
if I can see whats going on.

Among the threats that McAfee detects are Stuxnet, SpyEye, the TDSS rootkit family and the NTRootkit.http://j.mp/pVyVdoI like, G

I've been hoping for a system that makes the PCmore transparent. Easier for me to see whats going on.

Ability to KILL any PROCESS, whether MS likesit or not. What are those processes doing?What programs are running and who turned them on.What is going on in all the SCVHOST.EXE running?what dll's are being uploaded, and a way to test them.A list of all WWW connections with automated Whois.And ability to lock down ports and programs, or turnconnections off and block reconnects.

The method McAfee is using would allow for all of this.But the paradigm, 'hardware', should mean 'NOT PROGRAMBLE"or its going to get hacked, ie software.So we are back to plugging in something they can't hack.And buying chip upgrades.

Their new paradigm puts the security and monitoring belowthe OS.

I think this has merit, and the possibility of putting all of us onestep ahead of the bad guys/malware, we have been behind the8 ball for what 10 yrs now.
